Tell Your MSU Story: Documenting Your College Experience

Project Overview

The MSU University Archives, a unit of Library Services, is conducting an oral
history project to document the Minnesota State University, Mankato experience.
We are looking for alumni, faculty, employees, and current students to participate
in this project. If you are a Minnesota State Mankato alumni, faculty member, employee, or current
student you are eligible to participate in the project.

How to Participate

Be Interviewed by Archives Staff
The University Archives will be conducting and coordinating oral histories.
Please contact the
University Archives if you are interested in being interviewed.

Be Interviewed by Someone Else/Conduct Interviews
With over 90,000 alumni, it will be challenging for the University Archives staff
to interview all that would like to participate. The University Archives has developed
a project packet that anyone can use to
interview a participant.

What Happens to the Interviews?

All interviews will be added to the University Archives and made available to
researchers in an effort to document the University's history.

Donating Materials to the Archives

The University Archives does accept donations of MSU memorabilia, student organizational
records, departmental records, and other items. Monetary donations to help preserve materials
in the University Archives are also appreciated. Please contact Daardi Sizemore, Archives and
Special Collections Librarian and visit our donations page before sending anything.
